eNoteFile Services does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. eNoteFile Services may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you, in accordance with your communication preferences. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, eNoteFile Services may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail (in accordance with applicable laws), provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to eNoteFile Services, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
eNoteFile Services does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
eNoteFile Services keeps track of the website and pages our customers visit within eNoteFile, in order to determine what eNoteFile Services products are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within eNoteFile Services to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
eNoteFile Services websites may also disclose your personal information, without notice to you, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on eNoteFile Services or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of eNoteFile Services; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of eNoteFile, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The eNoteFile Services website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise eNoteFile Services pages, or register with the eNoteFile Services site or services, a cookie helps eNoteFile Services to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same eNoteFile Services website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the eNoteFile Services features that you customised.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the eNoteFile Services products or website you visit.

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback.
